Help us raise money

For participating in 2023 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon

Our story…

Millions of people around the world have fled and continue to flee persecutions and violence in their home countries, a situation that became more dire with COVID-19 pandemic and its impact. The best solution for a refugee is to be able to go home without fear. The UN says that the next best solution is local integration in their country of first asylum, with a chance to live their lives with full enjoyment of their human rights. When neither option is available, a new beginning through resettlement in countries like Canada offers a durable solution and hope for a new life.

Since 1991, the Holy Trinity Refugee Committee has sought to answer the call to Welcome Strangers by sponsoring and supporting refugees in their resettlement in Toronto. To date, the committee has sponsored nearly 140 refugees fleeing persecution and violence in Afghanistan, Burundi, Cambodia, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Kosovo, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, and Sudan. 

For the sixth time, we are participating in the Charity Challenge, also known as the Toronto Waterfront Marathon to raise funds to be able to continue welcoming refugees and their families to Toronto and provide them with both financial and moral support during their first year here.

We will be participating in the In-Person activities and we invite you to join us or support us in the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon on October 15th, 2023.
